Heaven's Greatest Professor

Chapter 322: Soul Domain (1)

The sun rose once again, driving away the loneliness and darkness of the night. It was still a couple of hours before his class. His party from the dinner last night had appeared before the lake, with Gale looking at them pensively.

"So, are you guys ready to dive into my soul?" he asked.

All three women shot each other quizzical looks, unsure about his question. Dawn was the first to nod her head.

"Stop with the foreplay and begin already," Agnes said. She was probably the only one who failed to understand what he really meant.

"I'm not sure if I can ever be ready," June said. "Is there any complication?"

"There's only one I can think of, but you guys can solve that," Gale said and closed his eyes. Finally, when he opened them, a gate appeared before him. Unlike before, when the entry to the subspace was always dark, it currently held a lot of colours—mostly golden, reddish, silver, and purple—colours of his essence.

"Get closer to the gate; I think you guys will understand what I'm talking about," he said.

June was the first to move. She raised her palm to touch the warping colour, but froze a couple of steps away from the gate. "Why do I feel an intrinsic danger from the gate?"

Confused, Agnes grew closer, and she too froze coming next to June. "It's like my Spirit is crying against entering the gate."

Dawn came close with a thoughtful look, though she didn't add anything.

"As I mentioned, this will be like you guys entering my soul," Gale explained, or tried to. Honestly, even he too didn't understand it fully. "As far as my experience goes, I'm sure many of your spiritual abilities will be suppressed when you enter my Spirit domain."

That was what happened when Ariha pulled him into her Spirit domain. But she had been more forceful in her way, so perhaps they wouldn't feel that bad.

"How sure are you that this is safe?" Agnes asked, wrinkling her nose.

"I have stored a few trees and bugs," Gale smiled. "They are living inside freely," though he believed they would undergo some mutation over time, but they didn't need to know that right now.

"So we're just going to be completely powerless under your soul's suppression," Agnes muttered as she took a step forward. "I mean, I trust you..."

June didn't want to be left behind either, and moved along with her.

"I trust you..." Agnes muttered, gritting her teeth. "Why the hell is this so difficult?!"

"It's like my soul is rebelling against my intention," June muttered, trying to go further. She set her mind, calming her soul down as she slowly approached.

Yet under all their gazes, Dawn moved like walking into a park and entered his soul domain, shooting a smile towards Gale.

Agnes frowned and then gritted her teeth.

"I believe she has some form of blind trust in me," Gale shrugged.

June clenched her jaw, calmed her spirit and raised her hand to touch the gate. "I trust you too..."

Her form disappeared into the spirit domain, leaving only Agnes.

"I'll understand if you—"

"Shut up!" Agnes closed her eyes, her chest heaving up and down, as she moved like she was forcing her way in, even though her form disappeared just the same.

Gale smiled and sat down in a meditative pose.

It barely took a moment for him to form a spirit avatar, as the spiritual form appeared before the three of them within the Neophyte spirit domain.

Agnes was on the ground, while June was on her knee. Only Dawn stood in her serene form, looking around quizzically.

"This place is weird," Agnes muttered with a clenched jaw. "I feel restricted."

"As you said, I cannot wield my essence with any control," June expressed. He touched her shoulder as she stumbled to stand up.

"The Way is restricted here," Dawn added.

Gale raised his eyebrow at her comment. She can feel the Way, he thought. He really didn't give her the credit she deserved, it seemed.

Honestly, he thought Agnes should be the closest to consolidating her path and touching the Way. He didn't think she was that far away, but it was Dawn who he should be looking for.

He helped Agnes up next, as all of them stared around the place. They were under the naked blue sky, a lonesome golden sun hovering in the middle. Green, lush grass was underneath their feet, while a strong wind blew from the seaside.

"So your soul is just like any other place?" Agnes muttered.

"Most of it is chaos," Gale commented. "You'll see it on the boundary of the realm."

It was still a neophyte spirit domain, not fully developed. Ninety-nine per cent of it was primal chaos, expanding without even him trying.

"I have a question," June raised her hand like one of her students. "Let's say if I eat some grass from here, would that mean I'm eating a part of your soul?"

Gale tilted his head. "Well, it's all essence," Gale said. "I have emptied the essence vein completely to make all this... using my soul as the framework... Well, you could say you'll be eating essence attuned to my soul if you eat the grass..."

June frowned at the answer, before nodding in uncertainty.

"Tell the truth, you are not certain how it all came to be, are you?" Agnes asked.

"I had no idea of it when it all came to be," Gale agreed.

Just as he finished, dozens of his avatars appeared around, and the wind rose, as a reflection of his face appeared in the sky. He was all-powerful within this realm.

Even if a transcendent to come into his soul, they would be at a disadvantage. As for those below his rank, would only need to review a little of his ire before their soul would disintegrate into a basic form of energy and devour into him.

"But now, I'm the alpha and omega of this realm."
